About Abilene
The mission of Abilene Baptist Church is to bring those who are lost into a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus and then build them into fully, mature, reproducing followers of Christ.
The vision for Abilene Baptist Church is to fulfill the mission locally through two church campuses (Martinez and Appling/Harlem), nationally through the Abilene Network, and internationally through missionary partnerships.
Our church is currently home to just under 3,800 members, with an average of 1,270 in attendance for three Sunday morning services across two campuses.
